Makarov, Ebanks, Carson Among the Fallen

Adding a bit of luster to Negreanu's heater is the level of competition he's faced along the way.

Big-name pros were stacked cheek-by-jowl at both the EPT Grand Final and the $25k WPT Championship and the SCOOP $5k PLO was no different.

Another deep run for rdcrsn.

Shaun Deeb, Jason Mercier, Ike Haxton, Justin Bonomo, Steven Chidwick... the list of PLO crushers went on and on. Also in the mix was 2010 SCOOP PLO Six-Max champ Alex "LuckyGump" Makarov, who Negreanu busted in 11th to take a massive chip lead.

At the final table with Negreanu were WSOP bracelet winner Joe "ender555" Ebanks and online legend Russell "rdcrsn" Carson, but neither could keep him from the title as he knocked them both out.

The official final six and payouts:

1. Daniel "KidPoker" Negreanu (Canada) $216,000.00

2. FA_Morgoth (Austria) $148,950.00

3. römpsä (Finland) $112,500.00

4. ender555 (United Kingdom) $76,500.00

5. leshkaGmBlZ (Russia) $58,500.00

6. rdcrsn (Canada) $40,500.00
